Subtlety is not one of my strengths
Them gays wanna be just like us
zen8tao once wrote a story here about gay marriage.And now, the Cancer-in-Chief has started making his reputation-recovery efforts. Oh, first he made sure we nabbed Zarqawi, a guy we had cornered in 2003 and 2004, but didn't kill because we needed to rally more support for continued war in Iraq. But also, he's pandering to his bigoted base.
So I thought I'd link to one of the best written, most erudite articles on the subject.
"
This is precisely the "tyranny of the majority" so many political philosophers warn against in any democratic or republican system, where a bigoted and intolerant majority may run ramshod over the rights of minorities. The United States Constitution was written specifically to avoid this scenario, and to ensure basic rights and liberties to all, regardless of what hateful opinions may hold popular sway.
The proposed Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage does much more than undermine the spirit and purpose of the Constitution, though; it presents a Constitutional crisis which throws our most basic concept of "rights" in limbo.
Why? Because the United States is a Common Law system."
In other words...practically speaking, you should oppose the "we hate fags" law, because you love America. And because your views won't always be the majority views.
